Public Hearina Case No. OA 99-5 Staff report by Steve Wensman. Heritage Landing Development Co. has requested an ordinance amendment to allow mini-storage as a conditional use in the C3 zone. Chair Cote opened the public hearing. . Dennis Chuba, 10451 175th Avenue NW, part-owner of the property, explained that the most successful mini-storage businesses have highway visibility. He indicated that the proposed mini-storage would be made as attractive as possible and could be removed or destroyed if, in the future, if a better use for the property arose. Commissioner Kuester asked what type of design standards would be enforced. Steve Wensman reviewed the highway commercial standards which would apply to the property. The Commissioners expressed some concern whether the proposed mini storage was an appropriate use for the entrance to the city. The Commissioners also discussed other sites where this type of use would be allowed, if the proposed ordinance amendment was approved (Le., Tailwind Trailers site, Better Yards and Gardens, Furniture and Things). Commissioner Schuster indicated that since the site has no access to city services, he felt the mini storage was an appropriate use for the property. There being no comments from the public, Chair Cote closed the public hearing. COMMISSIONER MESICH MOVED TO RECOMMEND DENIAL OF THE REQUEST BY HERITAGE LANDING DEVELOPMENT FOR AN ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO ALLOW MINI STORAGE AS A CONDITIONAL USE IN THE C3 ZONING DISTRICT, PUBLIC HEARING CASE NO. OA 99-5, BASED ON THE FINDING THAT IN 1996, THE CITY COUNCIL AMENDED THE ZONING ORDINANCE TO EXCLUDE MINI STORAGE AS A CONDITIONAL USE IN THE C3 (HIGHWAY COMMERCIAL) ZONING DISTRICT. COMMISSIONER KUESTER SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION 4-1. Commissioner Schuster opposed. .
